Naydeline Blanco made history this morning as the first baby delivered in the new Marian Regional Medical Center.

The hospital opened to emergency room patients at 7 a.m., and Marian staff and volunteers began moving patients from the old hospital into the new facility at 8 a.m.

The little girl was born at 10:50 a.m. in one of the hospitals labor and delivery rooms on the third floor, according to Marian spokesperson Jessa Brooks. Her mother, Elva Blanco, was visiting the area from Mexico when she went into labor, according to Brooks.

You’d be surprised about how many Mexican women in advanced stages of pregnancy somehow just happen to be vacationing in the United States when they go into labor. No kidding, there are three women in my office who proudly proclaim just that scenario as the circumstance of their birth in the U.S. They are actually militant about it.

“First baby born at new Marian Regional Medical Center (Mom on Vacation from Mexico)”

And what’s really amazing is that — even though she’s been taken -back- to Mexico to be raised, even if she never learns a word of English, in 35 years she can return to the United States and be fully Constitutionally qualified to become president.

On vacation? On vacation to a foreign country? I’m sure then that she was able to write a check for the $10,000 or so to cover the costs of the birth. For my two kids I had to prepay a significant amount before they would accept my wife and I into the hospital. I even had pretty good insurance. But then I’m just a lowly American citizen.

It’s ridiculous. The article doesn’t mention whether she was “Vacationing” here legally or not. Assuming she entered the country legally, what are the border agents thinking ? People who might need imminent medical care should never be allowed to enter the country. Anybody more than 6 months pregnant should be barred. She should have been refused on the grounds that her doctor and preparations for her medical condition were already made in Mexico. Just as anyone with a possibly life-threatening medical condition should not be traveling away from their home and their own doctor.

(The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly is to fill the world with fools.)

Mayor Bloomberg and Mexican billionaires said: Have the fedgov deliberately force large municipalities to take in more immigrants to improve the economy. They should deliberately force some places that dont want immigrants to take them

WE faced this same thing in Yuma...some of these women would “visit” the parking lots until the water broke and into the hospital they would go...and come out with a bouncing baby and all kinds of US bennies in the bargain.

To be fair, I lived in Spain at the time I was pregnant, and at the beginning of my 9th month, my husband and I decided to go spend a weekend in Portugal. I had some false labors there—I thought I might have the baby there, which would have been a nightmare for all the paperwork. Portugal does not grant citizenship to children of foreigners; Spain does (or it did, at the time).

The US simply should not grant automatic citizenship to kids born here unless their parents are legal residents.

I wonder—if the population of anchor babies born in the US and raised in Mexico becomes large enough, can we annex Mexico? On the grounds that it’s holding a large number of our citizens?
